"content": "So, I just thought that it is an opportune time and I am very happy that this is coming so that, for once, we harmonize salaries within our parastatals. There should be a guiding factor. We will not be looking at parastatals which may be bigger than the other ones, but people who are doing the same work. If an accountant in a State parastatal is doing the same work as an accountant in another parastatal or the central Government, they should be earning the same. However, right now, the discrepancies are telling. I feel it is very unfortunate and I am very happy that, for once, we are now getting this law which will harmonise that. I really want to support it and urge the House to do the same. We should pass it in the fastest time possible so that even all the other bits and pieces that are tied to the passage of this law, like the remuneration of the various commissions and the people being appointed, at least, we have a body that will be looking at all of them and saying:- âYes. This is what people should earn.â They will say that, after having synchronized everything and looked at facts rather than the emotions of the day."
